“Gerald, is this the new car you bought?” Sharon asked in surprise.“Yeah. I got it a few days ago. Just a means to get from point A to B,” replied Gerald as he casually tossed the keys on the table.This excited but distressed Lilian, as she was afraid that the expensive key to the car would be damaged.What excited her more, though, was that Hayward’s face had already turned green.“By the way, I heard Lilian saying that you've recently bought a car? I haven't seen it yet. What did you get yourself? A BMW 7 Series, a Mercedes-Benz, or an Audi? Worth more than a hundred fifty grand?” Gerald asked with a smile on his face as he looked at Hayward.“Hehe! Hayward procured the Passat for more than thirty grand, but how could that compare to your three hundred thousand dollar car?” scoffed Lilian as she rolled her eyes at Hayward.Hayward inhaled sharply, as his hands started going into an uncontrollable tremor.“Oh? You bought a Passat? Why did you buy that?” replied Gerald with a

“Miss Cole?”A woman looking to be about twenty-five years of age strutted over, calling Lilian as she gazed upon her respectfully. Lilian, on the other hand, pretended not to know the woman the moment she saw her.Who was she?She was none other than Quartney, the business manager who rented this car to her.“Oh? Is it urgent? Should there be anything urgent, perhaps you can talk to me on WeChat when I am home. It’s not a really convenient time at the moment.”Lilian’s face was drained of its color.Oh god! How could there be such a coincidence?She actually ran into the manager of the rental car here.Why couldn’t it happen later? She just got back together with Hayward.“It’s okay, Miss Cole. I just wanted to let you know that I did not pay attention to the time when I rented this car to you. I wrote that you should return the car tomorrow, but I made a mistake. You have to return the car before 4 p.m today as we will have to deliver the car back to the customer before fi

”F*ck! Gerald, we really got in!”Lilian breathed, stupefied.She barely showed any resistance, although Gerald was still hugging her waist.It was all only too exciting, now that the tables have turned.They were in the venue. Elena’s birthday banquet was exceptionally grand this time. This was mainly because Mr. Larson wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to host a large gathering for all the business owners too.As Hayward was from the Yorknorth Mountain, that automatically qualified him on the banquet attendees’ list.There were more than a hundred guests on the scene. Most were rich and young heirs, and there were many bosses too.The layout of the event was a bit similar to that of a wedding ceremony. There was a long aisle in the middle, and the banquet tables lined both sides of the aisle.Gerald managed to find a seat for both of them.After all, there were many people here, and most would just be casually looking for a place to sit with their friends.Hayw

Gerald had not seen Elena in a while, and she seemed much prettier now. “Elena Larson is gorgeous!” a stunned Hayward exclaimed. Sharon, nonetheless, wasn’t jealous at all. She had to admit that Elena was a real beauty.“Of course, she is! Elena is Mr. Crawford’s godsister. She has to be!” Liam smiled. “Then why isn’t Mr. Crawford here, Liam?” Leila asked. She was really hoping to see who Mr. Crawford was. “Let me tell you why. My dad mentioned he’s someone who keeps a low profile and doesn’t like banquets and functions as such.” Liam explained as if he knew about Gerald very well. “Aw!” Leila was disappointed. “Hey Leila, would you like a drink? This fruit juice is imported, it’s excellent! Let me get you some!” Douglas was unhappy seeing Liam and Leila hitting off well. “I’m good. Just leave me be.” Leila frowned at Douglas and turned towards Liam again. “I need one, please!” A waiter passed by Lilian, and she reached out for a drink. Lilian was parched after w

“I turned off my phone, Ms. Weaver,” Lilian shouted as she ran toward Quartney. Since Hayward and the others were following them, she was afraid they might get exposed. The last time Gerald claimed the Ferrari was his, Sharon did not believe him. This time, she had to make it clear. She stomped over to Gerald and stood in front of Quartney. She glared at Lilian and asked, “What are you afraid of, Lilian?” “Ms. Weaver, right? Is this car rented by Lilian?” “Absolutely not!” Lilian tried to make eye contact with Ms. Weaver—it was apparent she was trying to hide something. Sharon snatched the contract from Ms. Weaver and laughed, “This is a rental! Look, Hayward! Oh, Ms. Jung and Douglas, let me humor you guys. I was having some coffee with Hayward today, and this girl called Lilian…” Sharon showed them the contract smugly while spilling the details from this morning’s incident.Hayward was envious of Gerald, but after what Sharon said, he felt terrible for Lilian again.
